Abstract
Description
- This invention was made with Government support under Contract No. DE-FC26-05NT42643 awarded by the Department of Energy. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
- The present invention relates to a fuel injector, and more particularly to a fuel injector including internal baffling.
- Fuel nozzles may be designed to pre-mix natural gas fuel. Fuel nozzles may also be designed to burn a hydrogen fuel which is much more reactive and hence has a much higher flame speed. The term pre-mixed combustion refers to fuel nozzles for combustion systems in which the air and fuel are introduced upstream of where the combustion process takes place. One approach to designing nozzles that burn high reactivity fuels is to do this premixing in very many small tubes for reasons such as increased quenching and to insure minimal recirculation zones behind the fuel jets. To build such an injector in a practical mechanical package it is desirable to introduce the fuel from a single tube in the center of the injector. However, when this is done without regard to the internal flows of the gasses, the result is a very high velocity past the first mixing tubes seen by the gas and very low velocities at the outermost mixing tubes. This results in a substantial total pressure gradient within the nozzle, which is very undesirable for achieving a uniform amount of gas being injected into each mixing tube. In addition to the unacceptable pressure field the resulting very low velocities at the points furthest away from the feed tube produce very low cooling effectiveness, which can result in high metal temperatures and thus low part life.
- According to a sample embodiment, a fuel injector comprises a fuel delivery tube; a plurality of pre-mixing tubes, each pre-mixing tube comprising at least one fuel injection hole; an upstream tube support plate that supports upstream ends of the plurality of pre-mixing tubes; a downstream tube support plate that supports downstream ends of the plurality of pre-mixing tubes; an outer wall connecting the upstream tube support plate and the downstream tube support plate and defining a plenum therewith; and a baffle provided in the plenum. The baffle comprises a radial portion. A fuel delivered in the upstream direction by the fuel delivery tube is directed radially outwardly in the plenum between the radial portion of the baffle and the downstream tube support plate, then in the downstream direction around an outer edge portion of the radial portion, and then radially inwardly between the radial portion and the upstream tube support plate.
- According to another sample embodiment, a method of pre-mixing fuel and air in a fuel injector is provided. The fuel injector comprises a plurality of pre-mixing tubes, each having at least one fuel injection hole, provided in a plenum having an upstream side and a downstream side. The method comprises delivering a fuel flow to a center of the upstream side of the plenum; directing the fuel flow toward a radially outer portion of the plenum; turning the fuel flow in a direction opposite the delivery direction; and directing the fuel flow toward a radially inner portion of the plenum to feed the fuel into the fuel injection holes to be mixed with an air flow provided to the pre-mixing tubes.
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a fuel injector according to one sample embodiment; and -
FIG. 2 is a front view of an internal portion of the fuel nozzle with the radial baffle removed. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , afuel injector 18 comprises afuel delivery tube 20 and a plurality ofpre-mixing tubes 6. Thepre-mixing tubes 6 are supported by a first, upstreamtube support plate 16 at an upstream face orside 4 of the fuel injector and a second, downstreamtube support plate 24 at a downstream face orside 5 of thefuel injector 18. Anouter wall 3 connects thetube support plates plenum 26 is formed by theouter wall 3 and thetube support plates pre-mixing tubes 6 are supported by the first, upstreamtube support plate 16 and the second, downstreamtube support plate 24. - An
internal baffle 22 is supported at the end of thefuel delivery tube 20. Theinternal baffle 22 includes acylindrical portion 9 that is supported by thefuel delivery tube 20 and aradial portion 10 that extends radially into theplenum 26. - A
fuel 2 enters theplenum 26 of thefuel injector 18 from thefuel delivery tube 20 connected to the first, upstreamtube support plate 16 and is channeled through thecylindrical portion 9 of theinternal baffle 22 where thefuel flow 11 stagnates on the backside of theaft face 24. Thefuel flow 11 is then accelerated radially outward traveling between the backside of theaft face 28 of theradial portion 10 of theinternal baffle 22 and the second,downstream support plate 24. At the same time thegas flow 11 travels between the outside surfaces of thepre-mixing tubes 6. The innermost row ofpre-mixing tubes 6 has the most restrictive area as the cross sectional area is smallest at this radial dimension. - All of the
pre-mixing tubes 6 are placed approximately equidistant from one another to gain the highest amount of flow area per total face area. As thefuel flow 11 travels a radiallyoutward path 13 it has more tube-to-tube gaps 12 to flow through. This results in a lower velocity and a higher feed pressure. When thefuel flow 11 reaches the radially outermost portion of the nozzle it turns around theouter edge 14 of theradial portion 10 of theinternal baffle 22 and flows in an aft direction and then radially inward between the first, upstreamtube support plate 16 and theradial portion 10 of theinternal baffle 22. Thefuel flow 11 is then exposed to thefuel injection holes 7 where it starts to flow into thepre-mixing tubes 6 where it mixes with anair flow 1. - At the radially outward position the fuel is flowing at a slower velocity because of the large area. This low velocity results in a high pressure feeding the
pre-mixing tubes 6. As the fuel migrates radially inward the area decreases, however the flow velocity does not increase because some of the flow has exited theplenum 26 via thefuel injection holes 7. This continues for each row resulting in the desirable uniform gas feed rate into eachpre-mixing tube 6. The pre-mixed fuel and air is combusted in aflame region 8 of a combustor. This routing of thegas flow 11 ensures that the radially outermost portion of thefuel injector 18 does not experience stagnating fuel, which would result in a low heat transfer coefficient. In addition to providing a high degree of cooling, thebaffle 22 helps achieve a more uniform distribution of pressures within thefuel injector 18. This results in a consistent feed pressure across eachfuel injection hole 7 and thus results in a predictable fuel air ratio within thepre-mixing tubes 6. - It should be appreciated that the shape and location of the baffle may be otherwise than as shown. For example, if the fuel injector is square or pie shaped, as opposed to round, the baffle would take on this shape. Additionally, vent holes could be employed within the baffle to help achieve a uniform pressure/velocity. The cylindrical and/or radial baffle portions may also have conical shapes to achieve uniform flow parameters.
- It should also be appreciated that other methods may also be employed to keep the fuel injector cool. For example, the fuel injector may also include thermal barrier coatings or external heat shields that may rely on cooling air from a nearby source.
- Two concerns with multi-tube fuel nozzles burning hydrogen or other highly reactive fuels are addressed. The fuel injector provides a high rate of uniform cooling to increase part life in environments burning hydrogen or other highly reactive fuels and it provides a uniform feed to the pre-mixing tubes, which improves operability and emissions compliance. Higher flame speeds of more reactive gases require aggressive cooling schemes, which the fuel injector addresses in a simple yet robust design.
- The fuel injector controls velocities and pressures of the fuel at the same time. The fuel injector also provides sufficient cooling without the need for TBC or outside cooling air to be introduced. The fuel injector also uses a single center fuel feed design by solving the pressure distribution problem in a compact, low cost design. The design is flexible in that it can be incorporated into various shapes and sizes, for example by retrofitting, which is useful for scaling of designs.
- The fuel injector may be employed in any gas turbine fuel nozzle where multi-tube designs for very reactive fuels are employed. The fuel injector may also be used in other burners, such as furnaces, where hydrogen or other reactive fuels are now being used.
- While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
